Service Advisors: Ever feel like you’re the only one holding everything together… Meanwhile, your paycheck doesn’t reflect it?
Maybe you’re juggling customers, chasing techs, fixing miscommunication, and keeping the day from falling apart… while dealing with weak systems, inconsistent workflow, or a shop that just isn’t set up for you to win.
Or maybe you’re in a decent spot… but deep down, you know you could be earning more, running smoother days, and actually enjoying the work again.
Here’s the truth most shops won’t say:
Even the best advisors struggle in the wrong environment.
If that’s been your experience… keep reading.
At DeBoer’s Auto, we’ve spent the last 40+ years building a shop where strong advisors can actually thrive.
That means:
- A steady flow of work and customers who trust your recommendations
- A team of solid technicians who make your job easier—not harder
- Clear processes and leadership that remove chaos instead of creating it
- A culture where you’re respected for what you bring to the table—and paid accordingly
And the best part?
We’re growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Service Advisor who’s ready to step into a role where things just… work.
So, if you’re ready for a shop that finally matches your level - let’s talk.

ABOUT DeBoer’s Auto:
DeBoer's Auto has been part of Northwest New Jersey since 1982, when Bill DeBoer, Sr. opened his doors in Newton doing what he knew best: body work and used car sales. Bill Sr. had immigrated from Holland as a two-year-old, grown up with a hands-on fascination for cars, and spent 13 years building vehicles at Ford's Mahwah assembly plant before striking out on his own.
When New Jersey began licensing body shops in 1986, Bill Sr. adapted without missing a beat — shifting his focus entirely to used car sales and eventually relocating the business to Hamburg, NJ, where the DeBoer name became a trusted fixture in the community.
In 1997, his son Bill Jr. joined the business after graduating from Penn State with a degree in Business Management and a Certificate in Automotive Technology. Bill Jr. saw where things were headed — vehicles were getting more complex, and customers needed a shop they could actually trust with the technology under the hood. He built out a full service and repair operation alongside the car sales side, investing in diagnostics, training, and the kind of systems that a modern shop requires. He holds an Automotive Manager accreditation from AMI, a NIADA Certified Master Dealer designation, and ASE Master Technician certifications including L1 Advanced Engine Performance.
When Bill Sr. retired in 2016, Bill Jr. stepped into the role of Visionary and CEO — and made a deliberate call: sunset the retail car sales and go all-in on mechanical repair. No distractions. Just a focused, high-tech service operation built entirely around taking care of the vehicles customers already own.
That's what DeBoer's is today — and has been ever since.
More than four decades after those first days in Newton, the commitment is the same: honest work, skilled hands, and every repair backed by a 36-month/36,000-mile nationwide warranty.
Helping people live life uninterrupted. Not a slogan. The standard we hold ourselves to every day.
